Cardiac Memo

In descending order…

  • 170 bpm - chasing roadies
  • 156 bpm - steady 24hr racing pace
  • 105 bpm - driving down a quiet M5
  • 85 bpm - being driven down a busy M5
  • 84 bpm - galloping a large and psychotic horse while trying not to run over the dogs
  • 70 bpm - brisk walk
  • 65 bpm - sitting on large/psychotic horse in walk (still trying not to run over dogs)
  • 60 bpm - standing RHR

I was fairly suprised that riding our most stressful horse was still more relaxing than being a passenger in a car on the motorway.

But the other day I managed to hit a new low. 45 bpm. Stroking the cow-horse while she nibbled my hand. That’s lower than when I wake up.

Looks like I should take the big lump everywhere with me to calm me down :-)

Anyway, now that my heart has currently settled down and there’s no palpitations to record the NHS has finally fitted me with a cardiac memo.

I need to drink red wine (banned), stay up late, then start on some Chipps strength espresso.
